for many years the flagship phone price point has been at around seven hundred to eight hundred and fifty dollars it's only over the past couple of years that companies like oneplus Alcatel and said te has started to get into the spotlight so what's special with their phones well their phones have flagship specs for half the price of the big boy phones like the s7 edge from Samsung or the iPhone 7 from Apple take for instance the Alcatel idol 4s it runs like a flagship phones it looks like one it feels like one and it laughs like one it even succeeds the big companies phones in some department like value and accessories with the idol 4s you get a VR headset JBL headphones a screen protector and a case out of the box for a price of $400 so what do you get in the s7 edge box for example you get the phone a charging cable and some really bad headphones but what happens if we go even lower to the most budget phones there is it's actually quite interesting this is the Alcatel top 4 plus and it costs a hundred and twenty nine US dollars for the sake of making this video just that tiny bit more interesting let's compare it to the top dark phone of 2016 the samsung galaxy s7 edge now right off the bat there is a difference in the feel of the phone the s7 is made out of this beautiful and premium feeling glass and aluminum whereas the pop four plus has that classic plastic feel just like an old s3 or s2 from Samsung and the screen is not as exciting as the 1440p AMOLED display that the s7 edge has but to be honest I frankly don't care now don't get me wrong the display in the s7 edge is outright amazing but to do I feel like I need it no I don't the 720p LCD display that de-puff fourplus has is just fine videos look good and there isn't a problem with the colors now in terms of power under the well yeah there is a difference but once again it's not that huge in the real world going through your Instagram or Twitter feed is actually pretty soon and watching video was not laggy in any way either more camera related stuff like snap chatting or posting your own Instagram pictures yeah they don't look amazing but not everyone needs to have a full on DSLR killer in their pocket actually most people don't the pop 4 plus takes just fine pictures and video it's enough for snapshots now games they don't work that good on this phone it's laggy and sometimes the game just crash ok with this set let's try to bring it into it a more wider perspective I want you to respond to these questions in the comments down below number one do you need a DSLR like camera in your pocket number two do you need to be able to edit videos and photos on your phone do you need the premium build quality and water resistance of on s7 edge or comparable phone if you answered no to those three questions you don't need a galaxy s7 edge Google pixel or iPhone 7 you would be much better off with something like the pop 4 plus think about it you save $700 that you can use for other stuff I don't want you to tell you that you can't have a nice phone because you really can but it doesn't have to cost $800 for example compare the 1+3 to the Samsung Galaxy s7 edge ok price one plus three $400 s7 edge 850 dollars processor one plus three Snapdragon 820 s7 edge Snapdragon 820 Ram one plus three six gigs s7 edge for gigs so let's rewind the tape of its price one plus three $400 s7 edge 850 dollars do you see my point here if not then go ahead keep buying those expensive Samsung's and apples and Google phones but if you do just one tiny bit please trust us reviewers when we say a good phone does not have to cost $800 don't take my word for it take a look at Flossie Carter for example he says the thing I hope that you maybe not change your mind about the expensive phones I mean they are amazing and we live in a great world but I do want you to next time look beyond Apple Samsung and Google and try to look at these four hundred or less dollar phones and see if the $800 price tag is really worth it all right I know that was a lot to take in and I maybe went on rambling a little bit too much but let's conclude if you only need to call text check social media and stuff like that you don't particularly need the top dark phone but if you would like to take good photos play games and all of that there are amazing choices out there for much less than the iPhones and the top-notch Android phones you just have to do some digging around to find them alright thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one peace
